Where are your biggest opportunities to move the needle?

What data do you need to do it?

Value-based arrangements are as diverse as the names they go by. No matter what you call it, as payment models move from volume to value, continued success will be directly influenced by your ability to harness data to answer questions like these and make informed decisions.Whether it's a Pay-for-Performance / Shared Savings / Capitation / ACO / Bundled Payment /or any other kind of value-based reimbursement, all entities face the same struggles. They need to use and understand data.

We understand it from all sides.

How Versatile can help:

1. Identify measures that make sense for you based on your performance.2. Model new measure impact on your bottom line - is it even worth it?3. Liaise between payer and provider to define data specifications and validate data exchanged.4. Help our providers regularly validate, use and understand payer claim/episode data.5. Develop reporting or KPIs for on-going tracking to your level of comfort and readiness.6. Use your existing vendor platforms or build internal tools to monitor, identify new opportunities, and guide.

Even simple views of your performance can help immensely.Here's an example (built on a client's internal system with Tableau):

We want to see entities thrive and collaboration increase under these new payment models.

As a provider, you need to know what you're agreeing to, how it will affect your bottom line, how to manage your patients at point-of-care with these arrangements in mind, and regularly monitor your progress towards meeting your targets. You'll want to assure that you're maximizing incentives and being reimbursed accordingly. You need to manage and validate the disparate data every Payer is providing you, develop targeted workflows and initiatives to bend the curve, and have a feedback loop for both your practitioners and your payers. Depending on the arrangement, you may even need to start "thinking like a payer" in terms of managing the cost curve.

As a payer / employer group / contract Administrator, you need to develop effective VBR arrangements & improvement goals that will bend the curve, are identifiable, obtainable, reportable, and easy to administer. You need to be able to profile your Providers and identify areas of opportunities and partnerships that will have an impact. You need to be able to measure this, set baselines, and provide actionable information to the providers whom you enter these arrangements with. You need to be able to respond to data inquiries and measure success, working together to bridge any gaps.

How many opportunities lay in your data?

Medical Economics can mean different things to different people, but the goal doesn't change: understanding cost and utilization drivers/opportunities on a macro- and micro-level and predicting their impact so that you can make informed decisions.

Whether you're looking for new ways to identify these cost drivers, market dynamics, utilization trends, savings opportunities, or early indicators (and what to do about them) we can help. We have found fraud/waste/abuse, contracting opportunities, revenue integrity issues, over-utilization, performance profiling that opened eyes, and more — just from digging through the data.
